Or we can just grow some tasty fish meat in labs. Just may have to wait a decade or two.
Do you think when this becomes more commonplace that we will see a movement / fad / trend like we current see with organic fruits and veggies vs genetically modified? Do you think that there will be backlash like we currently see against monsonto? Are are they different issues?
Well, this technology (like any emergent technology) will produce a number of ethical and socio-political solutions AND problems. To my mind, I feel like it will (eventually) solve the problem of factory farming and the moral dilemmas associated with wanting to eat meat but not wanting animals to die/suffer. Could this technology also be controlled by companies with unethical practices? Could there be dramatic inequalities with the people who have access to this food? Will there be people who have a violent negative reaction to meat grown in labs? I think the answer to all of the above is yes. However, it is hard to know the qualitative nature of these problems at the moment.
The world's first lab burger was had in London recently. I'm under the impression that there will be biological complications and consequences from eating too many chemical proteins and not enough naturally fatty ones.
